Abstract

Infrared Camouflage This adaptive metaskin integrates a plasmonic MXene metasurface with a temperature-responsive liquid crystal elastomer to realize dual-mode active and passive thermal camouflage. It enables important objects, such as vehicles and personnel, to precisely match the thermal signatures of both low- and high-temperature backgrounds, achieving seamless blending with the environment and evading infrared detection. More details can be found in the Research Article by Keqiao Li, Yang Li, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202506934).
